Comedy in London tonight and this week

Stand-up, improv and new material nights across London. The rooms above pubs are where the good stuff is; the arena shows are on here too when they are worth it.

  1. Comedy

    City Comedy Club: Saturday brunch show, 4pm

    16:00 to 17:30 City Comedy Club, Shoreditch

    City Comedy Club: Saturday night, 6pm

    18:00 to 19:30 City Comedy Club, Shoreditch

    A drink is included in the ticket, alcoholic or not. Seating is allocated, so you are shown to a seat rather than fighting for one. Doors half an hour before, over 18s, ID checked.

    City Comedy Club: Saturday night, 8pm

    20:00 to 21:30 City Comedy Club, Shoreditch
